10 Reasons Why Your Gelding CAN Wear Pink!

There’s just something about pink on a horse that makes you want to adorne your equine in as many different shades as you possibly can, but what happens when you’ve got a gelding? Before you know it, you’re busily telling everyone on the yard how gorgeous he looks in pink despite prefering a rich blue.

However, we now live in a day in age where it doesn’t matter what colour we put our horses in (and there’s a lot to choose from). Should you need a funny excuse (or three) though, here’s a few tongue-in-cheek to use.

1. It’s reflective! well some anyway (great excuse to buy hot pink!!)
2. Your horse has no idea he’s wearing pink
3. It’s OK, he’s in touch with his feminine side!
4.  No other colours were available and you desperately need it
5. Don’t tell anyone….ride when no-one is there then you won’t need to give an excuse
6. He needs pink to concentrate when your riding, any other colour makes him ‘spooky’
7. You’re colour blind, “really it’s pink? I never knew, oh well I’ve bought it now so I’ll have to use it!”
8. He’s told you he likes to wear pink as it makes him feel good
9. It was free so you couldn’t really say no….
10. It’s a family heirloom, passed down generation to generation (just make sure you throw the price tags away)

In reality, it doesn’t matter what colour. Colours shouldn’t be given a male/female tag. We are allowed to use what we want, when we want – and that’s fine. Just remember to enjoy your horse, no matter what.
